Madness in Melbourne
"Melbourne has become a living hell, not because of the virus (which is still mild) but because of the unleashing of a hellish police state."
Only one person per household, per day, can leave the house (including for groceries). Can't go more than 3 miles from your home. The army is on the streets fining/arresting people.

+Weddings are illegal. No gatherings of any size.
+Army is on the streets fining/arresting people.
+"Since March 21, a total of 193,740 spot checks have been conducted by police across Victoria."
-
Protests/activism is illegal; people have already been arrested for peaceful gatherings.
+Media is EXTREMELY biased, calls protesters "right-wing conspiracy nutjobs" and won't allow discussion of whether these lockdowns are right or not.
+Several thousand people were placed under house arrest and unable to leave for ANY reason, with food rations delivered by the army, leading to appalling levels of personal trauma.
+Australia won't release how many fines they've given out, but an ABC news report says it's over $5.2 million so far.
+Streets of Melbourne are empty, even in a city of 5 million+ people. People are HATEFUL to each other, everyone is cannibalizing their neighbours (calling police to report any little infraction of the rules and turning on each other like some socialist hellhole).
+Billboards outside on the street that say in capital letters: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STAY HOME." They feel extremely oppressive like we're being yelled at by a very oppressive government.
+The Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews shows complete and utter disdain for us, constantly blaming us. He's blamed children (yes, really) for not taking this seriously enough. Every chance he gets, he tells us it's OUR fault the virus is spreading (even though that's what viruses do - they spread).

+It's not just the Victorian Premier - the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, left, is just as terrible. He's encouraged all of this, and he was responsible for the first lockdown.
+1984 dystopian language: billboards everywhere saying "Staying apart keeps us together."
+Have they gone mad? There's probably more but at this point, I honestly lost track of all the insanity that's happened. All because 147 people died in the state of Victoria (total population is 6.359 million), almost all of the deaths are over 70 with comorbidities, same as everywhere else in the world.
+This is lockdown ideology at work. It is a tyranny without limit, at the expense of all human dignity, decency, and rights. The politicians make a desert and call it health.
